Three bars. Three pours. One great Cali night. I love how this tour keeps the focus on craft beer tasting and pairing flavors, not just hopping from place to place. You’ll also get drinking games and a guided rhythm that makes it easy to learn styles, taste with intention, and meet people along the way. One watch-out: the tour can run in Spanish, so if your Spanish is limited, plan to move at the pace of your guide—Ana is known for being patient and explaining more clearly when needed.

What makes it practical is the small group size (limited to 8). You’re also guaranteed group space reserved at each bar, so you’re not stuck hunting for seats while your beer is already calling your name. The itinerary includes walking, so wear comfortable shoes and bring cash for any drinks beyond the small samples.

Key things you’ll notice right away

• Three standout bars in one evening, each with a different vibe and beer focus
• Small beer samples at every stop, so you taste widely without committing to one huge order
• Drinking games plus photos/videos, which turn an ordinary crawl into an actual memory
• Food at the final stop (tapas), designed to match the beers
• A guide-led pace that works well for newcomers to Colombian craft beer

Three pours, three neighborhoods: what this craft beer crawl is really about

This isn’t a generic nightlife circuit. It’s a short, structured evening built around one mission: help you understand what you’re drinking and how flavors work together. That matters in Cali because beer culture here isn’t just about “cold and fizzy.” On this crawl, you’re nudged to pay attention to aroma, texture, and style, then talk about what you tasted at each bar.

The format also makes it less stressful. You don’t have to research where to go, guess what to order, or worry that you picked the wrong place. A local guide handles the route and keeps the group moving, with photo moments and guided time at each stop.

And since it’s only 3 hours with a group capped at 8, you can fit it into a busy itinerary without losing your whole night. You’ll be done while you still feel like your feet can handle one more plan.

Price and what $45 buys you in real terms

At $45 per person for about 3 hours, the best value is that you’re paying for structure and access, not just drinks. Included is a local guide, group reservations at each bar, and a small beer sample at every stop. You’re also getting drinking games, plus souvenirs and photos/videos.

What’s not included is the rest of your drinking and any extra food beyond what’s specified. So if you tend to order a full pint at every stop, think of the included samples as a tasting ticket—then bring cash for whatever you decide you want next.

Is it worth it? For me, it’s worth it when you want:

• an easy way to learn craft beer styles quickly
• a guided route that saves time and awkward solo searching
• a low-pressure group night with photos and games

If you already know exactly what you want and you’d rather roam freely, you could skip a guided crawl. But if you want the “I learned something and also had fun” version of Cali beer, this price makes sense.

Timing, walking, and the small-group rhythm (what to expect)

This is a walking bar crawl. That sounds basic, but it changes how you should pack your evening. Wear comfortable shoes and plan to keep moving for short stretches between stops.

The stops include guided time and photo moments, with a typical flow that keeps you from waiting around. You’ll spend around:

• about 50 minutes at each of the first two bars
• about 1 hour at the last bar, which includes tapas

Also note two practical rules that affect the experience:

• it may be postponed in case of rain
• you can’t join after 18:15, because the schedule has to match the group and bar reservations

The tour runs with a guide in Spanish and English, but the language experience can vary by guide and group. One big help here: Ana is described as patient and willing to slow down and rephrase when someone struggles.

Stop 1: Botánico Pub in Granada (where the tasting starts)

The night begins at Botánico, Cultura del Licor in the Granada neighborhood. This first stop is key because it sets your “beer senses” for the rest of the crawl.

Here’s what you can expect:

• a photo stop to kick off the evening
• a beer-focused first taste, with a small sample
• a guided moment (about 50 minutes) that helps you start listening for aroma and differences between styles

Botánico is described as having a spacious terrace plus cozy areas, which is a nice combo for a group. You get room to breathe, but also places to talk without yelling over music.

A practical tip: use this first bar to ask your guide what you should pay attention to next. If you arrive thinking you like beer but don’t know styles, this stop helps you build the vocabulary fast—light vs. dark, hoppier vs. maltier, drier vs. smoother.

Stop 2: BBC Granada (classic craft beer, modern social energy)

Next is BBC Granada in one of Cali’s more active neighborhoods. The idea here is consistency and confidence. This stop is presented as a craft beer reference point in Colombia, with a modern urban feel and a stable lineup of styles.

You’ll get:

• time to visit and taste
• a guided stop of about 50 minutes
• a photo stop during the transition

Why this middle stop matters is momentum. By now you’ve already sampled something at Botánico, so you can compare rather than just consume. BBC Granada is the place to practice tasting notes in your own head: Which one feels more aromatic? Which has more body? Does one finish cleaner or linger with sweetness?

One caution: since this is the “middle” part of the evening, pace matters. If you try to order extra full pours immediately, you may feel rushed later at the third bar. Use the included sample to learn, then decide if you want a second round.

Stop 3: Antaño Cervecería Artesanal (tapas and signature pours)

The final stop is Antaño Cervecería Artesanal, and it’s designed as the wrap-up. This is where the atmosphere turns more relaxed, and where the experience leans into food pairing.

You’ll get:

• a guided moment
• beer tastings
• a tapas component (about 1 hour)

Antaño is described as warm and authentic, with character and creative brewing. That combination matters because it encourages you to slow down and socialize rather than treat the last bar like a finish line.

Also, this is the stop where you’re most likely to feel happy ordering food, because the menu is meant to highlight your sips. Tapas style pairings tend to work well with beer when they match flavor weight—salty, savory, or fatty foods often help balance bitterness and bring out malt or fruit notes.

If you’re the type who enjoys a final “one more order” moment, this is the right place. You’ll be in the same group mode, still guided, but with enough time to talk and linger.

The tasting game plan: how to order and taste like you mean it

Even if you’re new to craft beer, you can get a lot out of this style of tour. The structure nudges you to move beyond random taste-testing.

Here are practical ways to make your tasting sharper:

• Start with the included small sample as your baseline, not your whole decision.
• Take one question to the guide before you sip again: What should I notice first—aroma, bitterness, finish, or mouthfeel?
• Use the group’s games as permission to ask questions. You’ll often learn faster when you’re laughing while doing it.

Because it’s a crawl with multiple styles, you’ll naturally compare. That comparison is the real skill. After three stops, you usually leave with a clear sense of which style you like best and what to order later in Cali without guessing.

And yes, the tour includes drinking games. They’re part of how the night stays social and playful instead of stiff.

Guide energy matters: Spanish support from Ana

The guide is part of the value here. The experience is built around a live guide in Spanish and English, and at least one guide named Ana is specifically described as kind and patient, with a habit of speaking slowly and re-explaining when someone didn’t catch something.

That’s important because the tour’s learning moments are only useful if you can follow them. If your Spanish is rusty, it’s not a deal-breaker, but you’ll want the right expectations:

• You might hear more Spanish than you expect
• You’ll get help if you ask
• Bring a flexible attitude and use your curiosity

This also explains why the atmosphere described around the crawl is friendly and relaxed, with lots of laughter—people are allowed to be a little imperfect while they learn.

What to bring (and what not to bring)

For a smooth night, pack the essentials the tour specifically asks for:

• comfortable shoes
• comfortable clothes
• cash (for anything beyond included samples)
• passport or ID card (copy accepted)

Leave behind items that are not allowed:

• pets
• luggage or large bags
• backpacks
• high-heeled shoes
• jewelry
• anything that counts as littering, fireworks, or explosive substances

Also remember the big rule: it’s a bar crawl with alcohol. It’s suitable for 18 and older, but it’s primarily designed for people 21 to 55.

Who this tour fits best (and who should skip it)

This tour is a great match if you:

• want to learn craft beer styles without doing homework
• like social bar hopping with a guide and set route
• want photos/videos and a fun structure, not just drinks

But it’s not suitable for everyone. The tour specifically notes it’s not for:

• pregnant women
• people with mobility impairments, wheelchair users, or anyone who has trouble with walking
• people with heart problems, vertigo, respiratory issues, or people over 65
• people who are under 21
• people with food allergies or gluten intolerance
• people with certain pre-existing medical conditions, high blood pressure, or recent surgeries
• people with hearing issues or visual impairments

If you’re healthy and mobile, you can likely handle it. If any of those categories apply, you’ll be happier choosing a different type of experience.

Should you book this craft beer pub crawl in Cali?

Book it if you want a guided, easy beer night with real value baked in: 3 bar stops, included samples, a guide-led tasting approach, and the added fun of games plus photos/videos. It’s especially strong for first-timers who don’t yet know what they like.

Skip it if you:

• hate walking or you’re worried about getting through three venues in one evening
• expect food to be included beyond tapas at the end
• prefer fully independent, go-at-your-own-pace bar hopping
• can’t handle tours that may run in Spanish

If your goal is a smart start to Cali craft beer culture—without turning your evening into a logistics puzzle—this one is a solid bet.
